The scrap aluminum crusher is a high-speed hammer crushing machine used to reduce prepared aluminum scrap into smaller, screen-controlled pieces for conveying, sorting, storage and further recycling.
Typical materials include aluminum sheet offcuts, pre-cut profile sections, light aluminum alloy scrap, empty aluminum containers, small cast aluminum parts, extrusion production waste and selected mixed aluminum scrap that meets the crusher feeding requirements.
A high-speed rotor drives the hammers to repeatedly impact, deform and break the aluminum material inside the crushing chamber. The hammers, liner plates and screen grate work together to reduce the scrap, while the selected screen opening helps control the discharge size.
Properly sized aluminum scrap may enter the crusher directly. Long profiles, complete window frames, bundled aluminum and bulky irregular material may first require pre-cutting or primary size reduction by a scrap aluminum shredder.
Thick cast aluminum parts, engine housings, transmission cases and other heavy castings may require dismantling or initial processing by a cast aluminum crusher before entering a finer crushing stage.
After crushing, a magnetic separator can recover exposed screws, steel inserts, hinges and other ferrous components from the aluminum-rich material stream.
After ferrous metal removal, screening and suitable material preparation, an eddy current separator may recover conductive non-ferrous metals from an appropriate non-metallic material stream.
An eddy current separator does not normally separate different aluminum alloy grades or divide mixed aluminum, copper and zinc into individual high-purity products. Additional density separation, sensor-based sorting or manual sorting may be required when separate metal fractions are needed.
The scrap aluminum crusher can operate as an individual machine or form part of an aluminum recycling line with controlled feeding, optional primary shredding, magnetic separation, screening, airflow sorting, dust collection and centralized control.
Aluminum powder, fine aluminum chips, aluminum ash, hot aluminum dross, magnesium scrap, sealed components and materials containing unknown chemicals require a separate process and safety evaluation.
Scrap aluminum should be inspected before crushing. Glass, batteries, sealed components, residual oil, large steel attachments and other unsuitable materials should be removed or handled separately.
The incoming material dimensions, thickness, alloy type and attached components must remain within the feeding limits of the selected crusher.
Prepared aluminum scrap is transferred into the crushing chamber by a conveyor or suitable feeding device. The feeding rate should match the material dimensions, bulk density and crusher load.
Long, bundled, compressed or oversized aluminum scrap may require pre-cutting or primary shredding before hammer crushing.
A high-speed rotor drives the hammers to repeatedly impact, deform and break the material inside the crushing chamber. Friction and compression between the hammers, liner plates and screen grate further reduce the aluminum scrap.
Material that meets the selected screen opening is discharged from the crusher, while oversized pieces remain inside for further crushing.
The actual output depends on the incoming material, hammer configuration, screen opening, feeding rate and aluminum scrap structure.
After crushing, magnetic separation can recover exposed screws, steel inserts, hinges and other ferrous components from the aluminum-rich material stream.
Screening can classify different particle-size fractions and remove excessive fines. Material spreading equipment may provide more uniform feeding before subsequent sorting.
After ferrous metal removal and suitable material preparation, eddy current separation may recover conductive non-ferrous metals from appropriate non-conductive residues.
Eddy current separation does not normally identify different aluminum alloy grades. Additional sorting equipment may be required when different aluminum products must be collected separately.
Airflow sorting may help remove protective film, foam, loose plastic, rubber and other lightweight impurities when sufficient density and aerodynamic differences exist.
Dust collection can be configured around the crusher, screening equipment and conveyor transfer points according to the material condition and workshop requirements.
Processed aluminum, ferrous material and separated residues are transferred to their respective collection areas according to the selected recycling process.
The scrap aluminum crusher uses a high-speed rotor and hammer system to crush scrap aluminum into smaller pieces. It is suitable for processing aluminum profiles, cast aluminum parts, aluminum alloy scrap, used beverage cans, aluminum sheets, thermal break aluminum and mixed aluminum scrap.
The hammers and liner plates can be made of wear-resistant alloy or high-manganese steel according to the material type and operating conditions. Wear parts can be inspected and replaced based on actual use.
The crusher housing can be equipped with a hydraulic lid opening system. It provides easier access to the crushing chamber for internal inspection, cleaning, hammer replacement and screen maintenance.
For bulky, loose or irregular aluminum scrap, a feeding assist system can be added according to the material condition. It helps improve feeding stability before the material enters the crushing chamber.
The bottom screen grate can be selected according to the required output size. Different screen openings are available for different materials and downstream sorting requirements.
After crushing, the material can pass through a magnetic separator to remove ferrous impurities such as iron screws, steel parts and other magnetic materials.
An eddy current separator can be installed after magnetic separation. It helps separate aluminum and other conductive non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials according to particle size and material composition.
A pulse dust collector can be configured according to the material condition and site layout. It helps collect dust and fine particles generated during crushing and conveying.
The production line can be customized according to the material type, required capacity, output size and site layout. Available customization options include:
Feeding method
Crusher model
Motor power
Screen opening
Conveyor layout
Magnetic separator
